Features

Major sound, minor scale.

This purposefully designed speaker creates rich, nuanced sound that defies its size. HomePod combines custom Apple-engineered audio technology and advanced software to deliver precision sound that fills the room. And at just under seven inches tall, HomePod fits anywhere in your home.

Far and away an incredible listener.

Six microphones positioned around HomePod allow it to pick up all the sound in a room. When you say “Hey Siri,” advanced signal processing, together with echo and noise cancellation, allows HomePod to hear you without the need to raise your voice — even if you’re across the room with loud music playing. After HomePod recognizes the words “Hey Siri,” what you say is encrypted and sent anonymously to Apple servers without being tied to your Apple ID.

The biggest brain ever in a speaker.

An Apple-designed A8 chip orchestrates all the remarkable audio innovations inside HomePod. Like advanced signal processing so Siri can hear you over the music. Real-time studio-level processing that maximizes the bass while minimizing distortion. Buffering that’s even faster than real time. And upmixing of both direct and ambient audio. You get amazing sound, every single time.

Knows how to work a room. Automatically.

Setting up HomePod is quick and magical. Simply plug it in and your iOS device will detect it. Equipped with spatial awareness, HomePod automatically tunes itself to give you optimal sound — wherever it’s placed. Pair it with a second HomePod to create an unmatched stereo experience. And bring multiroom audio to your whole home with AirPlay 2.

The ultimate music authority.

HomePod is built to bring out the best in Apple Music.1 With the intelligence of Siri and access to over 50 million songs, it learns what you like and helps you discover more music you’ll love. And that takes the listening experience to a whole new level.

A helping hand is just a “Hey Siri” away.

HomePod is great at the things you want to know, and do, in your home. From getting the latest weather to sending messages and controlling your smart home accessories,2 Siri makes it easy to multitask with just your voice.

Home to an intelligent assistant.

Whether you need the latest traffic, news, and sports or just want to set multiple timers for different tasks, Siri is ready to help. You can also schedule, cancel, and stay up to date with your Calendar appointments. And now, when you’re in the kitchen thinking about what to eat, you can ask questions like “Hey Siri, how many calories are in an avocado?” before you prepare to spread it on toast.
